Bad article. > The explanation is vague, so we don’t know exactly how many files were accessed They didn't access "files" on 23andMe's servers; they scraped information that 23andMe was making available through its UI to even the most distant of DNA "relatives." In a way I think that makes 23andMe even more culpable than it would have been if someone were able to break into their servers. > The company later confirmed the data’s authenticity, saying a hacker most likely used credential stuffing (trying an infinite amount of username/password combinations) to access its systems. That's not what credential stuffing is.
